Hi Cotty! Long time no talk.
Those are great, the Olympus is a great looking camera. There's also some really interesting lenses for m34, a few years ago I shot for a bit with a Panasonic GF-1 with the 20mm 1.7. Horrible lens if you want to focus manually, but I love the way it renders. To this day, every now and then I run into a frame I made with it in LR, and I always can tell it was that lens. It has a "pop" that's hard to describe. I got the A7ii because wanted to mount these lenses on a full frame sensor, and I kind of like what Sony has been doing with their cameras. BTW, I just mounted the Sony 10-18/4, which I exchanged for a few prints a couple of months ago and was using on the A6000. I am amazed to see that it is usable from 12mm on full frame! No idea about sharpness (which is a bourgeois concept anyway!) but vignetting goes away at 12mm or so. Incredible. And now I might start trying to buy fewer cameras and use the ones I have :) j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.jbuhler.com On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 3:55 PM, Steve Cottrell <[email protected]> wrote: > Very interesting Juan - your opening paragraphs I could have written > myself: > > > On 1/7/16, Juan Buhler, discombobulated, unleashed: > > >Like many of you I waited for a Pentax full frame DSLR for years and > years. > >Heck, I remember wanting to buy the MZ-D back when it was announced at the > >Ulan Bator camera show. > > > >Anyway, years passed, I bought many Pentax cameras (istD, K10D, K5, K-01, > >K3 without counting a ton of lenses and a couple of point and shoots). > Then > >Pentax actually make a full frame DSLR. > > > >And then I realized that I like smaller cameras. > > The A7ii is mighty - bet you are having a great time with it. > > I have gone down the Olympus route.
